If a Republican candidate emerges in your area that you like, support him or her. It is no sin. ;) My own Republican Congressman David Schweikert is very good, and I will continue to back him for as long as he remains in Congress.

But forget the Republican Party as a whole. It is a spent force. Don't send them money - don't volunteer your time. There is an Opposition Coalition struggling to take shape out there, but a new banner has yet to emerge for that coalition to follow. I suspect there won't be one for a while.

These jackasses know exactly what they`re doing! They are no less liberal than liberals because they have the “if you can’t beat’em, join’em” mentality. They stay “R”’s because there’s enough bone heads out there to keep voting “R” only, including me.

There was a time back in the early 1970's, when I was first able to vote, that I registered as a Democrat. I did that just to vote for either the most conservative or the weakest candidate in the primaries, and then NEVER voted for a Democrat in any election that mattered. People once had to do that in order to have any voice in any election.

I may have to do that again. Either that or just abandon the Republican Party once and for all.

Being a "small "L" libertarian", that is probably what I will do.

Good luck, loser party!

It seems that someone jumps up in the Republican party and screams “It’s my turn, it’s my turn” and the party gos along with them. They certainly do not care what we poor boogers who have to vote have to say.

They (the Republican self-styled “elite”, RINOS, “moderates”, whatever) are sure going to show us peons who is running things. They’re showing their teeth, kicking conservatives off congressional committees, leaving conservative candidates twisting in the wind, shoving the more “electable” candidate down our throats, stacking the primaries, distancing themselves from the Tea Party (when not outright denouncing it), consolidating power in the northeast as if the party is their own private members only club, etc.

Well. Then let them get their money, support, and votes from each other.

RNC says why change a LOSING formula. With idiots like this no wonder Obama has and will continue to steamroll the GOP....In 2016 I wonder if they will even bother running an opponent or if Obama will get to name his replacement.

That’s actually quite possible. They’ve infiltrated everything else, most recently Protestant Christianity (they started infiltrating Catholicism way back with communist “liberation theology”). All that’s left is the military and the only real “opposition” party. Why would they leave those alone? Infiltration works even better than outright opposition, because it leaves dissenters with no options of a large group of like-minded people to oppose them.

They can’t possibly be unaware that they’re losing conservatives bit by bit. I’m sure they have contingency plans for meeting that problem-such as their outreaches to sodomites, illegal immigrants, the “gimmee” voters. All they need to do is pander and peel off enough to replace the disaffected conservatives-even if they never win the White House or a majority, enough of them retain power to continue to let the good times roll for the good ole boy network. Primciples? That’s what they speechified about to the dumb hick conservatives when they relied upon their votes. Unfortunately for us real conservatives, the few “true believers” in politics seem to be on the left.

With the GOP, nothing succeeds like failure. Only support local and state conservative you know are for real and trust worthy. The national level GOP leadership is beyond hope and will lead us to ruin.

Ever notice that whenever one of these GOP announcements of business as usual gets posted on FR, the squad of republican party shills never show up to defend the indefensible from their party “leadership”, but will show up on que if the subject matter of a thread remotely implies a “need” to vote for the republican candidate “or else”?

The real insanity are people who give money to the GOPe and proudly call themselves Republicans. It it the White Flag” party, giving up and giving in to any media threat and any lefty whacko idea. To me, supporting this is sort of supporting a Democrat “lite” party. I’ll spend my money in ammunition (if I can fi d any!)

(...and to the Republic for which it STOOD...)

Jimbo, please tell me that you are not serious. They are not insane. They are just doing their jobs of being the second string on the same team. We don't have elected Representatives sir. We have 'selected' Rulers.

Why do you think they always exempt themselves from the Rules they pass for us? They have now amassed enough power to completely control the electoral process.

Obama was soundly defeated by all Americans except those that count the votes. I watched as FOX News called a couple of states with less than 1% reporting. Huh?!?

They didn't give us anything. They shoved it down our throats. This week was no exception. Did you see what happened on the debt ceiling with absolutely no fanfare? Did you see Hillary say, "What difference does it make?"? (and get away with that!) Did you see BHO grinning like the godless actor that he is?

Those precious few good guys that we have in Congress have been unwittingly thrown into the Roman Coliseum to be eaten by the lions. God bless their souls. They stand no chance.

Every day more and more true Patriots pass away and their place taken by fools. We see the passings of our FRiends right here on Free Republic constantly.

I pray for you and yours Jimbo, for the few Patriots that we have in the FEDGOV, for the Patriots here on this site among others and for the States. The only hope for this nation's success lies with the States adhering to God's Laws IMO.

There is absolutely NO hope in the clowns that you just posted. They are the enemy.
